The violence is &#8220;realistic&#8221; and extreme.  The zombies in this movie are the slow moving variety, as in the original Romero films, <em>Night of the Living Dead<\/em>, <em>Dawn of the Dead<\/em>, and <em>Day of the Dead.<\/em>  No running zombies here.  Personally, I think that fast  moving zombies are a bit scarier, but there are those who disagree.  There is an subtle element to this movie&#8211;never explicitly mentioned, but which, in the end increases the terror level by at least a thousand percent.  Specifically, although extremely slow (think of a minimum wage sales clerk at a low end department store, who is working with a hang-over), the zombies are innumerable, and relentless.  They just never stop coming, albeit slowly, no matter where you go.  There is no rest, and you can&#8217;t hide.  If you stop to rest, a few will show up, looking to gnaw on your limbs.  Wait long enough (a few minutes in most cases) and their zombie friends with join them.  There will be dozens of the undead in a matter of minutes.  Remember the 1994 movie, SPEED?  It&#8217;s the movie, where the people couldn&#8217;t stop the bus, because it was rigged to explode, if its speed dropped below a certain level.  THE DEAD is the zombie version of SPEED, in slow motion.  You can&#8217;t stop. You can&#8217;t rest.  If you do, you&#8217;ll die. &#8230;before you rise again as one of the undead.<\/li>\n<li><b>RECOMMENDATION:<sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-4055-1' id='fnref-4055-1' onclick='return fdfootnote_show(4055)'>1<\/a><\/sup><\/b>  <i>This is a zombie horror movie.  Many people will be highly offended by every movie in this genre because of the graphic violence, gore, language and other questionable elements.<\/i>  However, <b>if you are a fan of this genre&#8211;You need to watch this movie.<\/b>  It is one of the best zombie movies I have seen in a long time.  In fact, I call it one of the best films ever made.  Terrifying, realistic, and eXtreme.  You can&#8217;t ask for much more in a zombie movie.  <strong>In short, this is a MUST SEE MOVIE!
